As requested in the Bugs [1] page, card profiles are needed. This
wikipage is for gathering some raw data for use in such a system.

DISCUSSION
Pwr(dBm) is to be recorded at which rate setting?
Veritech VAC2511-D 100 mW is -80 dBm @ 11Mbps
or
Veritech VAC2511-D 100 mW is -88 dBm @ 1Mbps
As per the Node page, Power/Sens is at 11Mbps --gummAY
I would recommend listing the Rx Sensitivity at 1Mbps, since that is
the lowest common denominator. You can get a useable link at 1Mbps
more often than you can get one at 11Mbps. -- DanFlett [2]
Sounds reasonable to me, I was just going with what locfinder said
... is it in need of a change? The only thing I can see against such a
change at this stage in the game is that all the nodes currently in
the database would have rx sens' for 11, and therefore be made
incorrect. I really don't feel like updating them all --How about
introducing a new field to the database, 1meg rx sens? While we're
discussing, is there anything else anyone can think of adding to this
system? -- gummAY [3]
You know, I was thinking (scary thought) ... if people start usign
these CardProfiles [4], and end up with valid tx power/rx
sensitivities, along with an antenna in a locfinder interface, we
could attempt approximate answers the question of 'how far will it
go'. Perhaps in the style of A grid like this [5] or the description
on this page [6] -- gummAY [7]
